For the last hotel stay of my two-part birthday trip to the Golden Triangle, my dad and I spent a few nights at the 127-key Brunfels Mainz, part of Hyatt Unbound Collection. This came after spending a few nights at the nearby Kennedy 89 Frankfurt, also part of Hyatt Unbound Collection, which I’ve already reviewed.
For those not familiar, Mainz is a city near Frankfurt. Initially our plan was to fly somewhere else after Frankfurt, though we had the most uncharacteristically nice spring weather for Germany, so we just decided to stay in the area, as you can’t beat sunny skies and moderate temperatures.
I’ve been looking forward to staying at Brunfels Mainz since it opened around the middle of 2024, as a conversion of the former Hilton Mainz. All-in-all, I found the hotel to be more charming than you’d expect based on the exterior, and I’d gladly return. That being said, I can’t say that the hotel “wowed” me, either, with a few shortcomings, including the very small gym, and the location that I don’t personally prefer.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
